Uscom releases new blood pressure monitor

The Uscom BP+ is a digital technology which provides direct measures of blood pressure (BP) and pulse pressure waves at the heart (central BP), as well as basic BP information current devices provide. Previously such measurements were only available using invasive cardiac catheters, but this can now be provided non-invasively by the Uscom BP+.

Uscom acquired the BP+ technology in 2013 for $1 million in UCM script from Pulsecor, and has spent a further $2 million and nearly five years preparing it for market.

Uscom has new distribution agreements and is in discussions with a number of major distributors from US, Europe and SE Asia regarding inclusion of BP+.
